26. Andrena (Trachandrena) haemorrhoa (Fabricius, 1781)

Listed by

Meena & Dey (2019): North India.

Remarks

Meena & Dey (2019) present no evidence to support the presence of A. haemorrhoa in India. Andrena haemorrhoa is a trans-Palaearctic species of temperate woodland, with some marginal occurrences in North Africa ( Gusenleitner & Schwarz 2002; Cherair et al. 2013; Ascher & Pickering 2023). In Central Asia, it is restricted to mountainous areas. It is not impossible that A. haemorrhoa could be present in Kashmir, but as no precise specimen records are available this is considered unproven. It is therefore excluded from the Indian fauna.
